Most bitcoin maxis are indeed statists, because the establishment is endorsing their favorite crypto

Nah, I think it's mostly the other way around: #Bitcoin is entering the mass adoption phase, and most people are still statist. This makes the mostly libertarian early adopter group relatively small compare to the mostly statist later adopters, which is a much bigger group.

It's anoying to see all the statism in Bitcoin, but it is an inevitable effect of mass adoption in a statist world too.

The beautiful thing is that Bitcoin does exactly the same wether libertarians or statists are using it: Defunding the state

Also, many of these statists will probably convert to libertarian while they go through the Bitcoin rabbit hole (Libertarianism is the logical conclusion of understanding Bitcoin).

The NPC herd shall never understand Bitcoin as a liberty tool.

They are too ignorant and busy with routine chores of life.

They'll be brainwashed with whatever the state #blob wants them to think about Bitcoin - a kind of pointless PayPal, a new Wall Street playground, a criminal implement, a "national security asset", et cetera.

Sad for them, but #Bitcoin doesn't care. Everyone can use it as they wish, that's the point of decentralisation.

If a criminal like Trump or Biden goes sunbathing, that doesn't make sunbathing less useful or healthy for me. The sun is still the sun, and Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, whatever the political parasites do.

Why bitcoin? A trackable currency that lets them monitor every transaction on the planet? Why not something like monero if its about liberty and privacy? Doesnt have to be monero, but a privacy coin seems a nobrainer for a liberty tool.

Mass surveillance is one of the many side effects of the fiat money system. Killing the fiat system with #Bitcoin will indirectly end mass surveillance, but also all the other fiat nonsense like wars, rising prices, wokism, plandemics, and all the other clownworld stuff.

Lets not attack the symptoms with painkillers, but the cause with a cure.

No, thats not how that works. The exact banker backed things would just switch over, they will leverage their infinite wealth to buy up the coins on mass if they want to. And when the majority hqs a trackable currency do you really expect the gov to just roll over and stop? They will weaponize it. They will attempt to build a system for precise regulation and for example demand all wallets be registered and if you transfer to an unregistered wallet they could come after you.

If everyone used a privacy coin they could also attempt to do so, but with the privacy coin obfuscating the transactions thats not going to go very far.

I want you to take a look at what happened with the canadian trucker protests funding for reference.

They can buy as much as they want, eventually this will only lead to the demise of fiat. Since #Bitcoin is PoW and not PoS, it will not give them power over the protocol, which means that they lose their ability of money creation and will end clownworld, even if they hold many coins. I would like them to not hold any, but Bitcoin is permissionless and will still succeed if they do.

Oh they going to ban unregistered wallets? This will end the use of it right? Like they banned drugs and ended the use of drugs globaly? Or the alcohol prohibition? How did that go?

The gov is not a God, stop worshipping them like they are! It's actually the most inefficient and incompetent organisation on the planet. The only reason they are so dangerous is that fiat gives them brute force power and people worship them. That's exactly why we need to end fiat with Bitcoin.

Oh and what I understand about the truckers is that individuals involved made quite bad mistakes (publicly advertise yourself as co-signer while staying in Canada).
